About the Item
Betty Boop is a cheeky one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork that reimagines the classic pop culture icon through a contemporary and surrealist lens. Inspired by a vintage Betty Boop commercial featuring an owl and the famous “1…2…3…” candy countdown; this sculptural painting blends humor, nostalgia, and symbolism in a bold, unforgettable composition.
Crafted from hand-cut wood, layered acrylics, and 3D sculptural elements, the piece features Betty playfully sucking on a vibrant cactus—a visual metaphor that’s equal parts provocative and whimsical. The exaggerated features, swirling brushstrokes, and cartoon-inspired outlines create a striking sense of movement and personality.
This contemporary art sculpture explores themes of intimacy, temptation, and transformation while drawing from the language of cartoons, vintage advertising, and pop surrealism. Perfect for art collectors, modern art enthusiasts, and those seeking original figurative art with a twist.
